This morning we learn that "Intellegence" suggests the Jordanian pilot was likely killed a month ago, +/- . What followed has been theatre.
Back when, Congress and the people were lulled into the perception that the U.S. engagement in Iraq was projected to be months and that costs would be negliable. Iraq was a wealthy country and the war would pay for itself. This from the Bush Admin's senior advisors.
The actual spending was primarily funded with supplimental and emergency appropriations over time. Bush did not make any domestic spending cuts to offset the actual cost of war. Taxes were cut to make the people feel better. The people don't pay attention to growing deficits when their taxes have been cut.
The people were spared pain and sacrifice to fund the war. 100,000 contractors were hired to side step a draft.
I understand war is not certain. How many would have supported The Iraq War if their crystal ball showed them the future cost of lives and money. The U.S. will be paying interest on the war debt incurred for generations. And when interest rates rise........Veteran benefits will have incremental costs for 60 years.
There is no quick and dirty solution in the Middle East or anywhere else. This is a global financial war certainly not limited to the Middle East. As we know , The Pentagon can't account for where the money went or will go. We know there's contractor corruption but no one says who or how much. It is what it is.
I was and remain a strong advocate for a flat war tax on all gross income- no exceptions. The people need to experience the financial pain of war instead of kicking the entire can into the future and blaming.
The one thing I remember President Bush saying, " go out and spend." As President Bush was sending our finest off to war, he was asking people to party and not pay attention. The worst part it is exactly what "the people" did and years later our real estate was in shambles and welfare on the rise. Not to speak about the student loans, credit card debt and many dead Americans.
I think some Muslims leaders have been searching for a way to take on the Islamofascists, without being accused of being a surrogate of the US, this disgusting and barbaric execution gives them that.
One hopes. It is a different situation when actual neighboring Muslim country with a 100% undisputed interest in the outcome joins in. I hope the US (and others) are putting intel, technology, spare parts, whatever is needed into the hands of the Jordanians right now.
It was kind of obvious when the French police were using hunting guns to fight terrorist.
Semi-automatic and automatic firearms are banned, but that hasn’t stopped drug dealers and terrorists from acquiring them in increasing numbers, according to the National Observatory for Delinquency, a state body created in 2003 by then-Interior Minister and later President Nicolas Sarkozy. The numbers of illegal weapons in France have increased by double digits for years, the body says.
I refer to all of islam as savages. I call them what they are without reservation. Even when islam is trying to be normal they'll still chop off peoples hands, stone them to death and behead them all in the name of sharia law. They are SAVAGES, BLOODY FLIPPIN' SAVAGES!!!!
We should all see this on national news, there are quite a few people in this country who really need to watch this whether they want to or not.
This is the cold hard truth behind what we are facing not just in the Middle East but everywhere on this planet. Don't for one minute believe that there aren't radical islamist here in the US that would do the exact same thing to a captures American pilot or any American for that matter if given the opportunity.
Another incident that was overshadowed by the treatment by ISIS for the Japanese and Jordanian prisoners, was the murder of a man for being gay. They threw him of a building, he survived, so a crowd gathered around him and stoned him to death.
Somehow I'm just not seeing the peace in the Religion of Peace.... What could I be missing here?
How is it the good Christians of Germany and other parts of Europe stood bye and enabled the Nazis to do what they did ? If my recollection is correct, only Denmark rounded up their Jewish population and transferred them to neutral Sweden. Unlike many of their counterparts in Europe, they did not loot the properties and bank accounts of their Jewish citizens.
How is it that Hitler was able to captivate and recruit the Christain youth of Germany to implement his national plan while families somehow rationalized what was going on?
The terrorists have been killing a lot more Muslims than anyone else. Youth is being recruited with higher compensation and benefits than they could otherwise achieve.
When your life really sucks there is a predisposition to blame and an increased openness to embrace and rationalize an alternative.
I think some Muslims leaders have been searching for a way to take on the Islamofascists, without being accused of being a surrogate of the US, this disgusting and barbaric execution gives them that.
That is a great point and part of the reason the US walks the line with our involvement, they do not want to give any perception that this is our war nor do they want to tie this in to the Muslim religion. This truly needs to be their war and the worst thing we could do is send in ground forces bas some have suggested, if recent events didn't motivate them nothing will.
